Whoop whooop whoop Mrs JB. Grandes Félicitations

Gin - I'm still in shock for you You are a legend in a small corner of the Midlands. I keep telling my friends about this crazy amazing lady who is having her 8th (or 9th child and who is fantastic mum and still manages to bake and things. We're all in awe

I'm off on a hen weekend today. I am sooooo excited and am looking forward to a full(ish) night's sleep. Ferg is still up at least 3 times per night - on a good night. Of course, the weekend I've been look forward to for months has been marred slightly by the fact that my first period has decided to arrive today Its been building up for weeks and I just knew it would come today. Never mind - I am armed with copious amounts of wine to get me through it.

Hi to everyone else. Have a good weekend

lupins71 · 26/04/2010 09:47

think this may work, hope everyone is ok, will try and have a nosy read in a bit but you will not be surprised to know that life is still crazy, dp is still mentally ill but at least he is being treated accordingly, and the kids still run rings around me and I have no time to fit everything in - ahhhh

hugs to you all

lupins71 · 26/04/2010 09:48

OMG I just read the post above LGT many congratulations

Moijaimelacountry · 26/04/2010 12:55

LUPINS! Great to hear from you, you sound really well. tis jaffa btw...

Had a lookey at the Beau thread Lg&t. Beau is a wonderful name IMO.

I had my first encounter with the MApill today. Got a bit jiggy last night, after way too much sun and wine, then remembered this morning that I had forgoten my pill at least twice this week. Bollocks!!! We never have frickin sex, why we decide to when I've missed my pill, gorwwwd knows, I do know that I will not be doing it like that again though as it was way too embarassing in the chemist this morning. I felt like a teen....

I was hammered, I remember skyping Cathy my french friend to tell her I loved her.... PMSL.

largeginandtonic · 26/04/2010 19:01

Hullo Lups I love Devon. We may well be back there again in a year. Dh job will change.

How are the lovely Arlen and Willow? I bet Willow is such a big girl now. I remember you calling me in recovery just after you had Arlen! How can that be 3 years ago???

PMSL at you Biffa lady. I bet you were mortified Take your pill you muppet. Does poor old A not miss a bot if slap and tickle? Is he kid in a sweet shop when you open? < arf >

I am indeed up the duff again. It was not planned. But hey ho. Life will work itself out.

I am feeling sick as a dog and incredibly tired. Normal stuff. Am 6+4. Huuge waves of nausea come over me. It is so annoying. I love to eat

So who is betting on twins? I have a funny feeling. Dont know why. It will be a bloody nightmare if it is.

You will all have to HELP ME.

Anyway. Been to M&S today and bought Bluebell some lovely girly things. A pair of jelly shoes that are so adorable!

ALSO my new puschair arrived today. It is one of these I love it. So light and easy to push.

What are you all up to then?

JamInMyWellies · 26/04/2010 20:03

I am cleaning up vom again, lovely!

Moi you do make me laugh.

Lups lovely to "see" you.

Sky gorgeous pics on FB.

SKYTVADDICT · 26/04/2010 20:48

Oh no Jam - not more vom!

I am extremely stressed that Ofsted are coming later in the week and I really shouldn't be on here but I am too tired to do anything else.

Hello Lupins - nice to hear from you.

It does go quiet on here for big chunks of time but then we all come back.

I am betting on twins LG&T

largeginandtonic · 26/04/2010 21:08

More Vom, poor you! Are you having another bubba soon? I MUST send that box back to you! Sat on my kitchen shelf.

Sky hope OFSTED is ok. Will look at pics

Am just setling down to watch 'The Notebook'. Should i be scared? SOH said she blubbed for hours afterwards. Am weak as it is.

OP posts:
JamInMyWellies · 26/04/2010 21:24

Oh it is about the saddest movie I think I have ever seen. Get your tissues ready.

SKy good luck for ofsted am sure you will pass with flying colours

lupins71 · 26/04/2010 22:39

Lol you lot

MOI what are you like, I know the bit about never having sex, I solved the contraception issue and went and got "fixed" much better lots less hassle for those occasional times it does happen

LGT twins - go girl! Bluebell is adorable, Beau is a fab name, hope the sickness isnt going to last too long, am I right this will be number 8?

SKY good luck with Ofsted hope it goes well

JAM hello

Arlen is still awake little monster! That will teach me to let him sleep in the car

largeginandtonic · 27/04/2010 07:26

The Notebook should come with a frickin health warning for pregnant women < sob >

lupins71 · 27/04/2010 08:21

Havent seen that one, dont really get chance to do weepies these days, was it good tho

Usual fun and games with DP this morning its like having another toddler about sometimes but worse

Is Aprilmeadow still about, hows she doing?

AprilMeadow · 27/04/2010 08:51

Well hello there Lups!! How lovely to see you back on MN. I was thinking about you the other day when i realised that i hadnt posted Arlen's birthday card. Can ypu believe that they are 3 already! I think Ella has hit the 3 going on 13 stage now. She either responds with a NO or runs in the opposite direction or if really lucky throws herself on the floor in a paddy.

JAM sorry to hear that vom-fest has returned, hope it buggers off quickly!

LG&T I havent watched that film but know that it's a tear jerker!

MrsJB LOL & PMSL you are funny!! Still so excited about my visit. I have the booking print out on my desk looking all pretty

Lucy had her 2nd visit to nursery yesterday and was as good as gold. Didnt notice i had gone and then took her about 5 mins to realise that i had come back. They did a little canvas of her first nursery picture which was very sweet.

Frantically running around this week switching from packing to tidying to ironing JOY!! Dh says he is taking tomorrow off to help so hopefully the house will look less like it has been burgled!

Went to Rockingham in Northamption this weekend with Jack & Lucy to watch the Touring Cars and we came 2nd in the 3rd race which was AWESOME!! Ella stayed with her godparents and had a day at Marwell. Didnt think i could cope with 3 of them on my own whilst dh was taking pictures of the grid girls cars for most of the day!

SOH we are back at Snetterton on the 8th August if you are around.....?

Lucy is squawking from her cot so must be food time

AprilMeadow · 27/04/2010 09:14

have up-loaded some new pictures of the 3 monkies

Pebblemum · 27/04/2010 23:05

evening ladies.

I am so sure i wrote on here last night but obviously not, must have been dreaming lol

Have spent a lovely evening down A&E, think im going to buy a seat in there so i always have somewhere comfy to sit, i spend enough time there Tonight though it wasnt for Jordan or Deacon but Alana. She fell down the stairs on Sunday, she seemed ok, a bit shocked and bruised but nothing major. Everyone looked her over and agreed she had probably just bruised herself even though there were no visable signs and it didnt require a trip to the drs. However since then she has been quite ratty, not letting me pick her up or cuddle her yet she is normally a very loving little girl and she wasnt using her left arm properly. I decided that she needed checking out and im so glad i did. It turns out she has fractured her collarbone I feel so guilty for not getting it checked out earlier but even the dr at the hospital said she had probably only bruised herself until the xray came back. Alana was so brave, she let the drs and nurses examine her, she had her 'picture' taken by a special camera but couldnt make out why she couldnt see herself, only bones lol. She has her arm in a special sling that she has to wear as much as possible to prevent further damage and has to go to the fracture clinic next week for a check up. I am going to go out tomorrow and buy her a big present.

SKYTVADDICT · 28/04/2010 23:18

Oh Pebble - bless her - meant to comment on fb but so busy busy busy. Hope she is still getting on ok x

AprilMeadow · 29/04/2010 15:30

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TMAM!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about Alana Pebble. I hope she is on the mend.

Moijaimelacountry · 29/04/2010 23:00

Happy Birthday THMAM... I'm sure you are celebrating in true african style.

lg&t Both of us would rather have the sweets from the shop tbh.

Cathy (french friend) who I declared my love for on Skype, laughed alot and took the piss out of me all week.

Have a lovely time in Florida AM, make sure you come home though, you have a VERY important trip to make in July.

Peb, I agree with your own seat needed in A&E, you do appear to have accident prone children. Perhaps they can give you a parking space near the front door too. Hope Alana mends soon, poor thing. x

All though, don't know what I'm saying tbh as Jorja is supporting two black eyes and a very fat, skinless nose. She was running to wave at me from the wall Tuesday evening, and fell before she reached it, smacking her face into it. muppet. Don't think it's broken, but it's hard to tell when it's reaching each ear. They wouldn't do anything for a broken nose anyway, right?

AND..... I haven't forgoten my pill again yet.... oh and TWINS yes absolutely definately!

Themasterandmargaritas · 30/04/2010 12:02

Thanks ladies, I had a lovely day, culminating in a present of a mountain bike, just to make sure I never ever relax ever again. It has a baby seat on the back but it's seriously difficult to manipulate with Jasper in it, he is so damn heavy!

Hi Lups, lovely to hear all is well with you.

Jammmmmm noooo not more vom. I think you deserve some kind of award.

April have a fab holiday, I'm sure it'll be great fun.

MrsJB, I just love your life, you are always in such good spirits and full of fun, can I come and live with you? I shall be in Pau in July, sadly a little too far from you....

Poor you Pebble, I hope Alana is on the mend.

LG&T how is the sickness???

Moijaimelacountry · 30/04/2010 16:15

Some say I'm full of fun, most say I'm a complete nutter.... yes, yes, come join my madhouse and mayhem.

tbh, I'm not really much fun today. I'm absolutely wreked. Every muscle in my body hurts, not sure as a result of the excerise, dancing the crazy walk done earlier this week or the SEX.... hmmm probably the latter, I'm sooooo not used to it.

lg&t - How you feeling my lovely?

largeginandtonic · 30/04/2010 20:11

Sick

TMAM a bike! Did you ask for one? Dh would be thrilled if i said i wanted a bike

Glad you had a good day

Pebble poor Alana

Sky how was OFSTED?

Jam vom gone? Hope so chick, it's hateful.

Scan next week to check dates. Sweep stake going?

SKYTVADDICT · 30/04/2010 22:14

Hi all

Well I got a Good in all 17 areas which I am really chuffed with. Couldn't have done better as it is so early on and I don't have evidence of stuff. Anyway, that is it for 3 years so woo hoo. I had better not get complacent with my paperwork though.

AprilMeadow · 30/04/2010 23:10

Off on my hols tomorrow morning.

I'm sure i will be on FB whilst away.

Take care and have fun celebrating the birthdays whilst i am away
